Global Movement
There were 280.6 million global migrants in 2020, according to Migration Policy data – approximately 4% of the world’s population. Current conversations surrounding migration are particularly poignant: the UN estimate that, as of October 2022, over 7.6 million Ukrainians have been displaced by the Russo-Ukrainian war. As net migration continues to make headlines worldwide, Olgaç Bozalp’s (b. 1987) monograph, Leaving One for Another (2022), is a timely visual documentation of migration that examines the reasons people leave their homes ­– from forced displacement to individual aspirations. Here, documentary combines with fine art in scenes where journeys take centre stage. Life jackets and floatation rings perch on the beach, rifles balance atop a motorcycle and groups in plastic ponchos clamber up a rocky mountainside.

UNFPA is part of a global movement to address gendered hate speech online.
Hate speech is in full attack mode, amplified by new technologies that spread divisive rhetoric across the globe. We all have seen the harm it does, sparking violence, exclusion, discrimination, inequality.
In response to growing xenophobia, racism, intolerance, misogyny, anti-semitism and anti-Muslim hatred, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres launched the UN Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech in June 2019, defining hate speech as “any kind of communication in speech, writing or behaviour that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are – in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, color, descent, gender or other identity factor.”
The action plan aims to enhance UN efforts to address root causes and drivers of hate speech and to enable effective responses to the impact of hate speech on societies, while implementing strategies in line with the right to freedom and expression.
Hate speech poisons minds. It is among the most virulent forms of misinformation, feeding on and fueling social polarization, driving us farther apart. Used for control and oppression, it can lead in the worst cases to mass murder and genocide. Misogynistic hate speech especially is proliferating, with technology providing cheap and easy means to spread hate speech far and wide. Online platforms provide few safeguards to stop it.
Online hate speech in particular might seem impossible to stop, but governments, civil society and individuals are taking action, including tapping the power of education, to fight back. Tackling the issue from an educational perspective involves strengthening educational policies and initiatives with specific measures to address and counter hate speech, helping people develop critical thinking and become active citizens who support peace and human rights.
We can all make online platforms safer. Technology companies must take all necessary steps to stop hate speech, including adopting safety features to limit misinformation and online violence and protect personal data. Safety improves when tech companies deliberately manage gender-specific threats and include women and girls in the design and development of technology. Governments and industry associations should set and enforce regulations to make technology safer. Individuals can stop the hate in their own online practices and call on others to do the same.
UNFPA is part of a global movement to address gendered hate speech online. It co-convenes the Advisory Group to the Global Partnership for Action on Gender-Based Online Harassment and Abuse, and issued the UNFPA Guidance on Safe and Ethical Technology for Gender-Based Violence and Harmful Practices.
For a deeply personal perspective, the UNFPA campaign The Virtual is Real focuses on digital violence – which includes online hate speech that serves to terrorize, dehumanize and silence – and features women who fought back.
Hate speech must not – and will not – win. But we all need to become involved, getting educated and speaking out firmly to counter this growing global scourge. “Hate is hate. We can’t excuse it. We can’t ignore it,” UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem says in this powerful video. “Hate is actions. Hate is words. Hate is words that become actions.” Say #NoToHate.
International Day for countering Hate Speech 2023, june 18th.

Theres another global strike on Feb 18th till Feb 25th
jester 🧡🤍🩷 // PREPARING TO STRIKE ‼️ on X: "STRIKE ORGANIZATION FOR FEBRUARY THREAD🧵‼️ #palestine #FreePalestine #genocide #gaza #FreeCongo #freesudan #Sudan #freeyemen #GlobalStrike" / X (twitter.com)
Tumblr media
Thank you for alerting me to this! There is another global strike between February 18th and February 25th, 2024. The OP of this thread said they wanted to start this initiative in advance so we can keep the efforts of organized strike going -and they're absolutely right -it should never be just on Bisan and fellow Palestinian activists and journalists to ask us to take action.
OP shares a list of what to target and boycott, which are directly from the BDS movement's website, and talks about how to prepare for the Strike in advance, and what we can do/how we can get involved. They include this resource I will share here:
All of their ideas and information is in this thread. As folks have said previously -this is the least we can do. For Palestine, for Sudan, For Congo.
I will update with any new information I see, or if anyone would like to send me something to me -my inbox is always open!

sorry but this idea that poc, and particularly arab-americans, are not also Vulnerable People™ and are just becoming leftist chaos agents for... the clout? for fun? because they don't ~understand the consequences~ of living in a shitty regime the way the super smart enlightened white americans do, i guess? it is so repellent and self-centred, and fundamentally dismissive of their humanity beyond being numbers to check off.
among all the other horrors of the last two months, this is what has radicalized me significantly. literally all the us establishment has is "shut up and get in line to prop up the status quo, or get deported and go to jail" as an argument, without even a whisper of pretending to care otherwise.
why on earth should anyone be convinced by this? why is "if we threaten minorities into propping up an unpopular leader, who notably loves police and is committing genocide, then maybe he'll defend lgbt people and immigrants and abortion rights afterwards! <3" a plan that people can pitch without laughing?
